Australian universities are saying no to international students already in the country on tourist, temporary work, or bridging visas. This is before the Labor Party tightens migration rules. They want to stop people from using student visas to find jobs instead of studying.

Top university groups will talk about asking the government to pause changes to how visas are processed. They don't want universities to drop in ratings because the government is approving fewer visas. The Albanese government wants to cut new arrivals by about 250,000. They're targeting universities that they think let in too many students just looking for work.


Phil Honeywood, who leads an education group, says universities are rejecting onshore applicants to protect their ratings. He also added, some visa holders try to stay longer by enrolling in low-quality courses to get a student visa and work rights, even if they're not really students.


The government wants to stop people from switching visas while in Australia. Some universities, like Flinders and Charles Sturt, are already rejecting certain visa holders.


Flinders University is turning away tourist visa-holders. Charles Sturt University is not accepting applicants on post-study work visas, bridging visas, and pandemic visas. They say they're following government rules.


The University of Wollongong is changing how they accept students because of concerns about fake applications. The University of Sydney is still accepting onshore applicants.


The Home Affairs Minister says the government is making changes to fix migration problems. Luke Sheehy, who runs a university group, is talking with the government about their concerns.


The government might pause changes to visa processing and talk to universities before making more changes.
